Emmado22 has a truckload of the Scepter plastic cans in used serviceable condition. I don't care for the plastic cans, traded mine off!

Oh, I like the plastic jobbies but there is no way on Earth I'd pay what they cost.
Metal for me.

so what "replacements" are there for the traditional jerry can? what is the story with the NATO cans? are they any good? seems like the jerry cans i have all seep a very little bit around the seam at the top. not enought to leak, but just a little wetness. i still like the looks of the traditional jerry can though. its stood the test of time!

I used the heck out of the plastic ones at Ft Hood. Never ever had an issue with them.

NATO cans are great, I like them a lot better than the traditional US versions. They are much easier to pour and generally seal a lot better. They also tend to be a lot cheaper. Just avoid certain French versions as they use an odd spout that is impossible to find. For those who may argue that they want the US version as it's "correct" for the US, the US did use a fuel can identical to the NATO can in WWII.
Now if I could just find a good source for the NATO cans at decent prices I would buy a few more of them, lol.

how much are those NATO cans going for these days? how much for a spout? how do you tell the difference between a french one and the others? I thought the NATO idea was to have all of the same stuff? haha.

Plastic rules for me, i was at first years ago, What ? Plastic no way ! but as many metal cans as I have had, and they all rust , the plastic US cans can be run over by a HMMV size vehicle when full and not break or leak, they are awesome !!! they can take the most beating of anything out there, But the older mettle spouts are the way to go they pour much faster than the plastic spouts, both spouts fit just nice.
OH and emmado s cans are soooo reasonable and easy to get, I think they are less than mettle for sure....
